Newton Meter
A newton meter (N·m) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the amount of force applied over a distance.
History/Origin
The newton meter was established as a standard unit of torque and energy in the International System of Units (SI) to provide a consistent measurement for mechanical work and rotational force.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify torque in mechanical systems and to measure energy in contexts such as physics calculations and energy conversions.
Electron-Volt
An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt.
History/Origin
The electron-volt was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for expressing atomic and subatomic energies, especially in quantum physics and particle physics, replacing larger units like the joule for small-scale energies.
Current Use
The electron-volt is widely used in physics and chemistry to quantify energies at the atomic and subatomic levels, such as in spectroscopy, particle physics, and quantum mechanics, due to its convenience in expressing small energy values.
